I think if you do a search for this you'll probably come up with quite a few results. You'll definitely need DVD backup and toast if you intend to copy your movies.

If you're trying to duplicate copyrighted DVDs (i.e., not home movies, but studio ones), they have copy protection that, unless you hack it, will prevent your doing what you're trying to do.

Use:

DVD BackUp to decode it

DVDOneX to process to fit in 4.7GB DVD

Toast Titanium to burn it.

If you follow the Read Me's, it will work flawlessly, guaranteed. They are not free apps, and I think they're over-priced, but they WILL work. If you're parsimonious, you can "demo" DVDBackUp and DVDOneX from Gnutella (use LimeWire or Poisoned). But you should buy Toast anyway: very, very useful app suite.

Toast will copy dvds that you've made yourself using iDVD. Which is great, cause then you don't need to keep around the soft copy to make duplicates. I'm betting disk copy will do it to, but i've never tried.

if you're trying to dupe your copyrighted cds it's not a pretty process.

For my pc i use dvd x copy xpress. I think on their website they said they were working on mac version. On the windows side this is by far the easiest solution for copying protected movies.

This is only legal if you already own the actual dvd.
